Bonuses and wagering
A casino bonus is an offer with conditions, and the conditions decide what it requires from you. The headline figure, such as 100% up to 200, is only the first line. The wagering requirement, the games that count, the maximum bet and the deadline decide what an offer requires and what it is likely to cost. Reading these lines takes a few minutes and uses only multiplication, so we show every step.
The guides in this section show how to read each line of bonus terms, how to calculate a wagering requirement on a deposit plus bonus or on a bonus alone, how game contribution changes the total, and how a maximum bet and a time limit translate into rounds per day. All offers used as examples are invented, and every calculation is shown so that you can check it.
We do not compare or recommend operators and do not promise that any bonus will pay. Wagering always involves the house edge, and gambling is for adults aged 18 or over. Start with the guide to reading terms, then use the wagering guide to put numbers on an offer.
